    N337 Historic Building Appraisal Entrance Gate San Wai, Ha Tsuen, Yuen Long, New Territories The entrance gate of San Wai (新圍), which literally means “new Historical walled village”,1 is situated in a local district known as Ha Tsuen (廈村) or Interest Ha Tsuen Heung (廈村鄉).2 Ha Tsuen was founded by two brothers, Tang Hung-chi (鄧洪贄) and Tang Hung-wai (鄧洪惠), both ninth generation members of the Ng Yuen Tso (五元祖) of the Tang (鄧) clan.3 As one of the oldest villages in Ha Tsuen, San Wai has a history of more than 250 years. It was established by Tang Tso-tai (鄧作泰, 1695 – 1756), an eighteenth generation member of the Ng Yuen Tso, and Tang Wai-yuk (鄧為玉, 1715 – 1755), a generation younger than Tso-tai. The village’s name “新圍” in Chinese and “San Wai” in English can be identified from a government report of 1899 and a land record of the then colonial government dating from 1905 to 1907. Regarding its layout, San Wai is composed of rows of houses, with an entrance gate. It is believed that the entrance gate was originally situated on the central axis of the village. As the village expanded, this central axis gradually lost its significance, and the view from the entrance gate was eventually blocked by rows of houses. A map dated 1917, which is the earliest record of its kind identified, shows that by that time two rows of houses had been built in front of the entrance gate.4 Interestingly, no shrine was built within San Wai, as villagers believe that the village is “protected” by the Earth God shrine near the Yeung Hau Temple (楊侯古廟), which is locally known as Sai Tau Miu (西頭廟, western temple).

  • Corpses to Cremains, Chickens to Jpegs
    CORPSES TO CREMAINS, CHICKENS TO JPEGS The Reception of Cremation and Related Rites by Hong Kong’s Practitioners of Popular Religion by Marc Lodge Andrew Lagace A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Marc Lodge Andrew Lagace 2017 CORPSES TO CREMAINS, CHICKENS TO JPEGS The Reception of Cremation and Related Rites by Hong Kong’s Practitioners of Popular Religion Marc Lodge Andrew Lagace Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This study investigates cremation in Hong Kong as well as a number of related practices—the use of columbaria, green burials, and the worship of ancestors online. Why these practices emerged is considered in addition to their promotion by the state and reception by practitioners of popular religion. It is demonstrated that cremation became accepted with little fuss for practical, political, and cultural-religious reasons. It is also shown that columbaria, although possessing desirable fengshui, are problematic in that they lack sites for worshiping Houtu and are becoming smoke-free. Green burials, campaigned for by the state and endorsed by ethicists, have been met with resistance because they involve scattering cremated ashes (viewed as harmful and/or disrespectful to the dead) and fail to provide ancestors with permanent places of rest. With regard to online worship, there has been little enthusiasm as it is does not concord with people’s ritual sensibilities. ii Acknowledgments I would like to extend my thanks to all of my teachers, past and present, particularly Dr.

  • Cantonese Romanization Used in Hong Kong Place and Personal Ames 1
    A System without a System: Cantonese Romanization Used in Hong Kong Place and Personal ames 1 Shin Kataoka Cream Lee Dept of Chinese Language & Literature Chinese Language Centre The Chinese University of Hong Kong The Chinese University of Hong Kong Abstract From the colonial period (1842–1997) to the SAR period (1997–present), Hong Kong has used romanized Cantonese forms for local place and personal names, which can be found on identity cards, business cards, maps, street signs, as well as in underground and railway stations. This Cantonese romanization, generally called the Government system, may look systematic at first glance. However, as we carefully observe the ‘system’, we find it is inconsistent at times, which leads us to a series of questions like ‘Is there a system? If so, why is it inconsistent?’ or ‘Who designed this romanization in the first place?’ These questions triggered our research interest, so we started collecting data from various primary sources. Our analysis reveals that Cantonese romanizations are closely related to the presence of early protestant missionaries in China. This paper attempts to prove that the Government system is substantially a hybrid of three romanization systems those of Eitel, Dyer-Ball and the Standard Romanization all of which are legacies of nineteenth-century missionaries in China. Brief History of Protestant Missionaries in China Christianity in China started in the seventh century with the arrival of the Nestorians. However, no solid foundation for Christianity was built until the sixteenth century when Roman Catholic missionaries, such as Ricci, Valignani, and Xavier, were allowed to preach and build churches in two southern Chinese cities, namely Macao and Guangzhou, after gaining the trust of the Ming dynasty government.
